700R4 Overdrive issues
My 87 Iroc-Z keeps shifting back and forth from drive to overdrive while driving at low speed, about 20-40 mph. It dosen't do it at faster speeds. If I shift it manually through the gears it doesn't do it. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this.

its more pronounced in my 83 with the shift kit then the others were...

Re: 700R4 Overdrive issues
My first guess would be that your TV cable needs adjustment / replacement.

Probably explains why it works when you manually shift it... I got that problem with my cavalier... It's annoying as hell i feel ur pain lol..

Re: 700R4 Overdrive issues
Really only one way to reset the TV cable. Not intended to be 'adjustable'. But it does sound like a low line pressure rise, so readjust it as instructed and try it out.
But that issue is an inherent problem and a shift correction kit from Superior or ProBuilt should fix the issue permanently
